The day Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal so unbelievable that FIFA was inspired to create the Puskás Award.
In 2009, Cristiano Ronaldo produced one of the most iconic goals of his career while playing for Manchester United against FC Porto in the UEFA Champions League. From nearly 40 yards out, he unleashed a thunderous strike that rocketed into the net, giving the goalkeeper no chance. The goal was remarkable not only for its distance but also for its flawless technique, accuracy, and sheer spectacle, cementing its place among football’s greatest long-range efforts.
That same year, the strike became the first-ever winner of the FIFA Puskás Award. Created by FIFA and named after legendary Hungarian forward Ferenc Puskás, the award honors the most spectacular goal scored each season. Ronaldo’s effort perfectly captured the creativity, skill, and beauty the award was designed to celebrate, setting the benchmark for future winners.
Dana White: "I don't care how powerful a woman is or what she does. Women want to be taken care of, treated right, and they want to feel safe. That's nature, and it's a man's job to do all that."
I have never seen an animal commit suicide.
I find it interesting that animals, especially apex predators, don't appear to conceptualize “hopelessness” the way humans do.
Even at the brink of death, they fight, bite, claw, and persist without turning their suffering into despair.
Elephants rising up and systematically killing the indians who have been abusing them is one of the best things I've read this year.
Elephants are truly wonderful creatures
